I am not usually moved to tears by music but as Andras Schiff played Bach’s Art of Fugue at yesterday morning’s prom, I dissolved. I was caught up in the music and again and again let my tears fall silently while the music went on. I have never known a concert so wonderful or so moving.

I’m enjoying the new issue of @magmapoetry.bsky.social which includes poems by friends and introduces me to some very good poets who I hadn’t previously read. I have two poems in it too! Thanks to the editors.
